It's mostly lean proteins and greens but still includes the good fats and stuff. I'm soooo excited!!! I can't wait to get in shape and I'm glad to have others that I trust to share my goals with!

Yeah a bunch of soon to be thin November chicks!!!

I felt so bad afterwards. I wasn't even hungry. And to top it off, it was 2am!!!!!!!!!!! That is ridiculous. I have to start going to sleep earlier and I have to stop eating after 8 or 9 at night. That is non-negotiable at this point. The only positive is that it wasn't my typical late-night run to the store for candy or ice cream. Still no DP's. Still doing good on plan for Weight Watchers. Bloated b/c it is almost that time of the month. Afraid to weigh myself. Not motivated to exercise. Working on motivation and late night eating. I think I'm getting to the point where I'm cool without the DP's.

Have you ever tried Fiber One bars? This is what I snack on at night when I get hungry like that. They taste almost like a candy bar or something. I'm doing WW too and these are only 2 points! Also, if you get Nature's Own White Wheat Bread, it is only 1 point for 2 pieces!! I think it's about the closest you can get to actually tasting like white bread but not all the points. Try not to beat yourself up over that because you could've made a lot worse choices besides plain bread. Keep up your good work with it all and no DP's! We can do it!

Oh I know! Those are my favorite. Have you tried the other flavors? They are pretty good too. After awhile I needed a little variety. I've tried the strawberry and caramel and liked them both.

 

[purrtykitty]

The strawberry one is OK. The caramel and PB ones are yummy, but I can get a bigger box of the chocolate chip ones (and hence, they're cheaper), so those are the ones I get.

That's so funny! I go with my mom to that same meeting!! If you are there this Thurs, we are the 2 blondes that sit kinda at the front to the left of the room. I'm Jenny- Say hi if you want to! It would be great to meet ya!

 

[rbella]

How long have you been going? I haven't been for 3 mos. Are the two old ladies that sit in the back still there? I love that instructor!

We've been going to that location for about 6 weeks or so. Yes, the two old ladies are there and they both got their 10%. The one with the cane cracks me up! And Josh is still going and is still losing a ton! He's training for a triathalon now!

I love the instructor too. She is so sweet and down to earth. I've been in and out of WW for most of my adult life and this is probably one of the best meeting groups I've been to. Very funny and inspiring people!

 

[rbella]

I'm so happy for them! I love the cane lady, too. Josh is so inspirational! I can't wait to meet you! I'll introduce myself to you on Thursday. I'm so excited!

I start school tomorrow which will be hard for me. There are no inexpensive healthy foods that are portable on campus. I'll have to make time to prepare healthy snacks to take with me. That's my goal for this week. (Along with studying ) Good luck all!

Apples, oranges, and bananna's aren't expensive. You can get a single banana for like .15 cents. Apple chips...string cheese...

AND OMFG FIBER ONES BARS ARE LIKE MY LOVE. I can't eat them now that I'm on Atkins, but I friggin love them. I will say if I eat more than 2 in a day then I get a little digestive kick in the booty hehe...

Also, Fiber One Bran Cereal is great crushed up and put on chicken for a fake deep-fried chicken...

HUNGRY-GIRL.COM I believe is the site...I suggest you ALL check it out for low fat options as that's what most of you seem to be doing. The site is amazing. And the chocolate milkshake recipe...MMM... lol. Milkshakes and brownies are my weaknesses.

Those twelve steps count as 1, try starting with 4 or 5 a day Good luck! and Im sure you'll do well

Thank you! I'm actually really looking forwards to doing that

I had an ok day yesterday. Didn't have any wheat, dairy or fizzy drinks. And I managed to do my 4 min walk, plus walk across a big car park to get to the cinema, despite my legs feeling like a steam roller had been parked on them all night. Due to all that I had to spend the evening resting, but instead of sitting in the house on my own and getting bored (which usually leads to eating) I had my best mate over. And I let him eat one of my choc chip cookies! So that's one less for me to eat. I did only let him have the one though

I guess the only bad thing I had was half a packet of Starburst (chewy sweets) as I needed the sugar to keep me going while I was out. The other half of the packet is on the desk in front of me, and I haven't touched them. I'm even thinking about giving them to my brother as I'm not going out so won't need the sugar boost today.

After having another night without the midnight snack I'm feeling rather positive about everything!

Oble kaybee ladies...I haven't checked in since Saturday and I'm at work so I'll have to go back and read the posts throughout the day....but just wanted to give my progress...

So....I quit smoking. I know it ws metioned to give up a food related vice....but I'm not ready to give up my coffee (if ever) so smoking it is. I feel like that's going to give me more energy and empty time...time to move around more, lol.

Saturday, after walking my Herbie....my and my bf helped feenin4makeup move so we had the usual mover's delight...pizza and wine, lol. Ate badly...but walked earlier in the day with my dog and did some working out helping with the move.

I ate pretty well on Sunday...breakfast was Special K chocolate delight, skipped lunch while school shopping, and dinner was a homemade hamburger on wheat bread and pretzels...we ate really early since we're getting back into the school groove with the kiddos. I basically only have been drinking coffee, water, vitamin water...yesterday I had a kolache for breakfast, no cereal(SOMEONE STOLE MY DAMN MILK FROM THE WORK FRIDGE!!!), lunch was a turkey sandwich with pretzels, dinner was chicken wings with mixed veggies. So, I'm doing pretty ok with my eating. I seriously need to increase my fruits and veggies...and my exercise. Nick'swifey, I'm seriously considering the jumprope idea...anything is better than what I'm doing now..NADA. I'm seriously considering getting my Turbo Jam workout dvd out tonight and doin it big, lol. I've been keeping up with my journal...hopefully that will be helpful in my weight loss, eating habits, and kicking the cancer sticks to the curb. Hope all of you ladies are having beautifully fit days today
